Thread creep maybe, but...Cabin room in the Lynx seems to be a big problem, if you've ever flown in the back of the mighty widdow maker, you'd know what I was on about. For those that haven't, imagine squeezing into the rotary winged equivalent of the trusty 'Robbin Reliant'. Future Lynx looks to be about the same size as the original (crazy thought but are Westlands actually going to build new frames or are these going to be remanufactures ala 'Nimrod MR.4' ?) How the hell are you're going to get 8 fully equipped squaddies in the back?

Why not give the AAC 230 Sqns' Pumas?
